Rumors are swirling that Mike Tomlin abruptly quit as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers because he got a bartender pregnant.

Tomlin shocked the NFL by abruptly resigning as head coach of the Steelers after 19 winning seasons.

According to social media user Will-Howard-Time (@Dwinsgames), Tomlin is no longer the Steelers head coach because he got a 20-year-old woman pregnant. “His family life is in crisis and he broke his personal conduct agreement with the team. He is working to save his marriage.”

There are rumors that the woman welcomed their baby months ago. She allegedly signed an NDA agreement in exchange for $3.5 million in hush money.

The rumors have not been confirmed

The USA Today reported that Tomlin decided to quit, rather than be fired by the Steelers organization.

The Steelers’ organization reportedly allowed Tomlin to coach the team in the NFL playoffs. But the Steelers lost to the Houston Texans by a score of 30-6 in the AFC Wild Card game on Jan. 12.

The next day, Tomlin tendered his resignation. Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers reportedly cried in the locker room and said, “I’m sorry” to Tomlin.

As Tomlin left the Steelers locker room for the final time on Monday, he passed by his own words immortalized in silver block letters on the wall: “The Standard … is the Standard.”

The Super Bowl-winning coach leaves with a record of 201 wins and eight division titles.

If the rumors about Tomlin getting a young woman pregnant are true, he is the second Black football head coach to lose his career over infidelity with white women in less than 60 days.

Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore lost his job and was detained by police in December over an “inappropriate relationship” with his white female assistant.

Moore was charged with felony home invasion and stalking after he broke into his assistant’s home and threatened to kill himself.

Both Tomlin and Moore are married with children.

Tomlin and his wife, Kiya, his college sweetheart, share three children.

Venezuela’s Machado Gifts Trump Her Nobel Peace Prize

Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made good on her promise to gift her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump.

Images released by the White House shows Trump posing with his Nobel Peace Prize medal presented to him by Machado in the Oval Office on Thursday.

“I presented the President of the United States the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize, and I told him this, listen to this: Two hundred years ago, General Lafayette gave Simón Bolívar a medal with George Washington’s face on it… Bolívar since that kept that medal for the rest of his life,” Machado told reporters after her meeting with Trump.

“Two hundred years in history, the people of Bolívar are giving back to the heir of Washington a medal, in this case the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize, as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.”

After Trump captured former President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela in early January, Machado told Sean Hannity that said she decided to give Trump her Nobel Peace medal because she believed he deserved it more than she did.

Maduro is being held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn. His Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is acting as interim president of Venezuela until elections are held.

Venezuelans expressed their gratitude to Trump and Machado on social media.

X (Twitter) user Devorah Sasha (@devorahsasha) wrote in Spanish:
“A gesture of respect and gratitude to the only leader who actually did something to defeat the terrorism that crushed the decent people of Venezuela.
Thank you @MariaCorinaYA.
Thank you @POTUS.”

But others are furious with Trump and Machado.

“This level of desperation is unreal,” wrote Fidow (@Iamfidow) on X. “@realDonaldTrump already said publicly, ‘She doesn’t have the support or the respect within the country,’ yet she’s still clinging to him for relevance.”

President Donald Trump unveiled his “Great Healthcare Plan” that sends money directly to Americans to pay for their own healthcare.

Trump announced his Great Healthcare Plan in a video from the White House on Thursday.

The president said Americans pay the highest insurance premiums in the world – and now Americans will pay the lowest healthcare prices in the world.

“The government is going to pay the money directly to you. It goes to you, and then you take the money and buy your own health care. Nobody has ever heard of that before, and that’s the way it is.”

Trump said his plan will reduce insurance premiums by ending billion dollar payouts to big insurance companies – and sending that money directly to the people.

Trump accused former President Barack Obama of making insurance companies rich.

“Obamacare was designed to make insurance companies rich. I call it the Unaffordable Care Act,” Trump said.

A White House official told reporters on Thursday that the administration is willing to work with Congress to get the plan codified.

“These are commonsense actions that make up President Trump’s Great Healthcare Plan, and they represent the most comprehensive and bold agenda to lower health care costs to have ever been considered by the federal government,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.

“Congress should immediately take up President Trump’s plan and pass it into law.”

A student at a Tennessee high school captured the scary moment when an SUV crashed through a cafeteria wall on Tuesday morning.

The frightening incident happened around 8:30 a.m. after a parent dropped off his child at Middle College High School in Memphis.

Police said the parent maneuvered his Infiniti QX80 SUV to avoid hitting another vehicle and crashed into the exterior wall of the cafeteria filled with students eating breakfast.

The driver told police his brakes failed. There were no reports of serious injuries.

Meta glasses footage shows children running for their lives when the SUV crashed through the wall into the cafeteria.

Student Traveon Manning filmed the entire crash on his Meta glasses, capturing the moment nearly 100 students fled in terror.

Traveon also ran out of the cafeteria, but he returned to capture the aftermath.

“In the moment, I was extremely surprised as I was recording my reaction to a video my friend was showing me, and I did not expect to capture that moment on video,” the shaken student told WREG News.

“Even people on the other side of the cafeteria, a lot of people were shaken up and still didn’t know what was happening in the moment,” he said.

No criminal charges were filed.

“All students and staff are safe, and the matter is being investigated,” Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) said in a statement, according to Fox 13 News.

NeNe Leakes took to Instagram on Wednesday to comment on her much-anticipated return to “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

“This has been a really long, long journey, and gosh, I’m happy, overjoyed to say that I will be returning to Bravo,” the 58-year-old reality star said. “I almost can’t believe the words that are coming out of my mouth. I’m so happy.”

She took the time to thank her RHOA costars and the people behind the scenes who made it happen for her.

NeNe continued: “I’m excited to see all of you girls. It’s gonna be a time. It’s going to be a tiiiime! Yes! B–es, I am back. Now pick your faces off the floor. OK!? See you on Bravo. Love you.”

On his Sirius XM show, Andy Cohen confirmed NeNe will only appear in “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”

“She’s gonna be making an appearance. People are very happy about it. Listen, we are going to be celebrating 20 years of Housewives, and it would be hard not to without her, and so I’m happy about it.”

Andy previously swore NeNe would never set foot on a Bravo set after she was fired in 2020 for insubordination.

NeNe filed a lawsuit against Bravo, parent company NBCUniversal and Andy Cohen in 2022, accusing them of fostering a hostile work environment on the RHOA set.

At the time, NeNe’s attorney said she was “the target of systemic racism from co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, which was tolerated by Bravo executive producer Andy Cohen and other executives.”

NeNe dismissed her lawsuit in August 2022 after reportedly reaching an agreement with Bravo, NBCUniversal and Cohen.

Bravo executive Frances Berwick said the door was open for NeNe to return. And NeNe confirmed to BOSSIP that she and NBCUniversal were on better terms.

Here’s some good news for women with very low standards in men: rapper Blueface is back on the market.

If you recall, Blueface moved on with a woman named Nevaeh Akira after he dumped cougar Hazel-E and Chrisean Rock.

The first sign of trouble in Blueface and Nevaeh’s relationship came when she misspelled his name in a tattoo on her neck.

Blueface’s mom, Karlissa, pointed out her son’s name was misspelled as “Jonathan” instead of Johnathan.

Then Blueface said Nevaeh looks like T.I. and Tiny’s son, King Harris, in a livestream.

In a response video, King asked, “Why would you say your girl look like another man?”

It isn’t clear what caused the breakup between Blueface and Nevaeh, but what is clear is that he can’t keep a woman.

Blueface has dated several women since his release from prison in November.

He briefly dated 45-year-old reality TV star Hazel-E before moving on to Nevaeh.

In a new video that’s going viral on X (Twitter), Nevaeh said she made the decision to leave the relationship – not him.

“I am not worried about no mf n–a that look like a d-ke named Sylvia,” she said in the video.

NSFW: Video contains profanity and language that may be disturbing to some viewers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismisses Oprah’s “obesity gene” theory: “It was your choices”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed Oprah Winfrey’s theory that her obesity was caused by genetics. Oprah argues that the “obesity gene” caused her to overeat and crave food 24/7.

In an appearance on “The View” this week, Oprah said, “All these years, I thought I was overeating. I was standing there with all the food noise… I thought that that was because of me and my fault. Now I understand that if you carry the obesity gene… that is what makes you overeat.”

She continued: “You don’t overeat and become obese. Obesity causes you to overeat.”

But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. dismissed Oprah’s theory that blames her obesity on a rogue gene inside her body.

RFK Jr., who is not a medical doctor, said Oprah’s overeating is a choice that she made.

“Dear Oprah, Yes, you were overeating! For years!” He tweeted on Wednesday.

“And it wasn’t some mystical “obesity gene” puppeteering your fork. It was your choices. Stop selling surrender as science. Our kids deserve the truth that real change starts with personal accountability, not excuses.

MAHA.”

Brian Austin Green says Tichina Arnold forced him to keep their interracial romance a secret

Brian Austin Green spoke out for the first time about his interracial relationship with “Martin” star Tichina Arnold in the 1990s.

During an appearance on Deon Cole‘s podcast, “Funny Knowing You”, Brian said Tichina forced him to keep their romance a secret.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star told Deon on Wednesday that he and the Tichina met while “working together” and they “got along really well.”

“I was watching when you had Tichina on here and you were talking to her. First of all, let me preface by saying I love Tichina,” he told Deon.

Brian said they had “common interests” because he was dating majority Black women in the 1990s.

“Hip-hop was my world. I was doing hip-hop clubs. I was going to all the places where hip-hop was existing… You usually date the people that you’re around.”

Brian said he became “insecure” when Tichina was “very clear on day one” that no one “could know” they were “fooling around.”

“I was in my early 20s. I was living in a culture that wasn’t accepting of me. But there was no way to get out of it because that was just where my brain and my heart were.”

Brian said Tichina made him feel like he wasn’t “good enough” to be seen out in public with her.

“I have someone who I’m attracted to who’s telling me, like, ‘You can’t tell anybody,'” he continued. “I think, for me, it really triggered something like, ‘Oh, OK. I’m not good enough for any of this. You don’t even want your friends to know that you’re hanging out with me.'”

Tichina opened up about dating Brian in her own appearance on Deon’s podcast 2 weeks ago.

“It was nice,” she said of her only interracial dating experience. “He was different.”

She said she dumped Brian because she knew he would end up sharing his wealth with a white woman.

“I told him, I said the reason we’ve come to the end of our road [is] because, I see you dating all these Black women, now you’re dating me, and you’re not gonna end up with a Black woman,” she said. “You’re gonna share your riches and your legacy with someone white. And so I’m getting off this train.”

The bisexual “Everybody Hates Chris” star, who previously dated female rapper MC Lyte, said she’s now attracted to Black men only.

“I really love Black men. I’m just attracted to Black men. Like, that’s my natural – it comes down to everything. Just the pheromones, the smell, everything. The everything!”

Streamer Kai Cenat is learning how to read at age 24

YouTuber Kai Cenat is going viral after he live-streamed himself trying to read a book.

He struggles to read basic words in the English language such as “spontaneity” or “dichotomy.” He couldn’t pronounce those words without the use of an online tool.

“Spontanay, spontana- how do I pronounce that?” he said, while reaching for his cell phone. “Often times when I don’t know what a word is pronounced, I wanna, I get to look at how it’s pronounced and what it even means,” he said.

A digital voice on his cell phone said “Spontaneity.”

Kai repeated, “Spontaneity: the condition of being spontaneous.” He then proceeded to mispronounce the word several times.

When the digital voice said “dichotomy,” Kai pronounced the word “di-comedy,” as if he’d never heard the word “dichotomy” ever in life.

The video sparked debate about the education and development of children in public schools in America.

Kai is a 24-year-old grown man who can’t read. That revelation shocked the parents of his young followers who now realize their children probably can’t read either.

Reading simple texts on their phones or social media comments is not the same as sitting down to read a good book. Most kids online today have never read a book. They can’t even pronounce the title of a book.

Dr. Allison Wiltz, who uses the Twitter handle @queenie4rmnola, criticized followers for making fun of Kai.

“This is how you’re supposed to read, by looking up words you’re unfamiliar with. Why is he being made fun of for learning?”

Dr. Jeffrey J. Lusk wrote: “I look up words all the time, and I have a PhD! I even keep a written list of the new words I learn so I can go back and refresh them in my memory.”

Dr. Wiltz responded: “Learning is a life long [sic] process. I underline a word, and look it up if I don’t know it. The list is a smart idea.”

Author Ashley D. Turney wrote: “I don’t think he was being made fun of. All the comments I saw were supportive and applauding his efforts.”

User J. Wood commented: “Most 5th and 6th graders know these words. He doesn’t.”

Another SCRAP (@scrizzllee) noted that Kai launched a clothing line while not being able to read.

SCRAP wrote: “I think the real sentiment is being this far behind in literacy while also trying to attack an industry giant like fashion is kinda…”

Sen. Josh Hawley Vents at OB/GYN Doc Who Refuses to Answer: “Can Men Get Pregnant?”

Josh Hawley, Republican Senator for Missouri, went viral on Wednesday for checking a doctor who refused to answer the question: “Can men get pregnant?”

The Christian conservative lawyer questioned Dr. Nisha Verma during a congressional hearing on the safety of abortion pills.

Dr. Verma is a licensed OB/GYN and a senior advisor to Physicians for Reproductive Health. But she repeatedly refused to answer whether a biological man can give birth.

At first, she danced around the same question from Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) before butting heads with Sen. Hawley.

Hawley: “Do you think that men can get pregnant?”

Dr. Verma: “I hesitated there because I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was. I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women.”

Sen. Hawley asked the doctor over a dozen times whether men can get pregnant. But she maneuvered around the question and refused to answer.

“I wasn’t sure where you were going with that [question],” she said.

Hawley responded, “Well, the goal is just the truth. So, can men get pregnant?”

Verma responded: “I’m not really sure what the goal of the question is… Yes and no questions like this are a political tool.”

Hawley replied: “The goal of the question is to establish a biological reality. You just said a moment ago that science and evidence should control – not politics. So let’s just test that proposition. Can men get pregnant?”

After growing frustrated with Dr. Verma’s repeated refusal to answer the question, Sen. Hawley said: “For the record, it’s women who get pregnant, not men. I don’t know how we can take you seriously and your claims to be a person of science if you won’t level on this basic issue.”

He added: “I thought we were past all of this, frankly.”

Last October, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a generic version of mifepristone to terminate a pregnancy.

Mifepristone is the most common way to have an abortion in the U.S.

Pro-life groups argue that the drugs carry risks and rare complications. While pro-choice critics cite studies that show mifepristone is safe.

Sen. Hawley’s wife, Erin, a lawyer, has argued against the use of the abortion pill.
